Out of curiousity, why did you find it such a waste?

  I felt the same as bitL. I was in PEAK (gifted and talented) since the second grade. When I started High School, one of my freshmen classes was biology. We started the year off learning about cells -- something I had learned about in 3rd grade PEAK and still remembered clearly. I was actually pissed off that I was not being taught something new. From that point on, I didn't give two shits about high school. I scraped by with Cs and played computer games until I graduated. I did start college a little early my senior year, using a program that let me take half the day off to attend college. But I could have easily been going to college since 9th grade. As for the social stuff, I actually lost most of my friends in HS -- they all moved to other states, and I had no desire to gain new friends (I had good friends on the internet, that I still have to this day, ~20 years later).
